Bale. Could we? Would we? Should we?

Look.

Eriksen was all lined up to sign for Real on a free in the summer.

Zidane effing hates Bale. Madrid effing hate Bale.

So poor old Christian, just being a pawn in the game, gets sacrificed by ZZ so we can force Eriksen out to another club in January with a fee that we will kindly pass straight on to RM so they can shed themselves of the Welsh monkey.

All in the name of our 'special relationship' of course.
 
Daily Mail says Spurs and Real are talking! And Bale will have to agree to take a pay cut (No s#it Sherlock). And Spurs will have to pay a transfer fee to maintain the dignity of his agent.

That's about it. No need to visit Speculation Central.

Tottenham believe they have made a breakthrough in their bid to bring Gareth Bale back to the club.

The finer details of a deal have not yet been agreed — not least how they frame a contract when Bale has been earning a staggering £500,000 a week at the Santiago Bernabeu — but The Times understands there is growing confidence among the Spurs hierarchy that they can sign the Welsh superstar today.

Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, travelled to Madrid for talks with Madrid president Florentino Perez in an effort to secure the services of the 30-year-old forward who moved from White Hart Lane to Madrid for what, in 2013, was a world record transfer of £85 million.

Levy, this newspaper understands, went to Perez
 
I'm not sure what Bale's motivation would be for coming back here. I am also not sure how motivated he would be coming back either.

I do laugh at articles like the above though. The finer details of how we end up paying a player about twice our current wage cap is the only sticking point....ok then....

Rightly or wrongly, that isn't how we operate our wage bill (unlike Juve for instance, who paid Ronaldo a huge amount more than their other players) and unless we break this spectacularly and/or Real subsidise a lot of it, I can't see how this works.
 
Frame the purchase as a marketing investment, and net if off against sponsorships. I believe the breakthrough comes from some sponsorship agreement. But hey I for one am happy to get Bale as he is one of our own, and knows what he's getting in Mourinho.

So this framing of a mega contract with plenty of moving parts can happen in a day!?

Hmmm - sounds like we are trying to give Sociedad a nudge on Willian Jose.
